It can be used for backup purposes. In old versions of Plesk, dumps could be created using just the database management tools. But now Plesk offers a faster way to create database dumps, store them, and deploy earlier created dumps on the server.<\/p>\n<p>In Plesk, to export a database dump indicates saving a source database in a file, which can be later used for storage or distribution. To import a database dump indicates restoring data from such a file to a destination database. It is possible to import a database to the same or another database server. There is just one limitation and that is the source and destination databases should be of the same type, for example, MySQL.<\/p>\n<p>In Plesk, SQL format is used to create database dumps and are saved as ZIP archives. For creating a dump in another format or doing custom settings for a dump, use the native functionality of database management tools (phpPgAdmin, phpMyAdmin, or myLittleAdmin).<\/p>\n<h3>Steps to Save a Copy of a Database<\/h3>\n<p>1.
